"Selfies"

“Selfies”-the act of holding a camera at arms lengths and proceed to take pictures of yourself while posing. 

If you have access to Facebook or Instagram, I’m sure you know what I’m talking about, and most likely have taken some “selfies.” What I’ve noticed is lots of people have a habit of posting lots of pictures of themselves. How do you feel about that? More importantly, how do you think God feels about selfies?  Is it a big deal? I came across an article on this topic and it got me thinking.

It talks a lot about a word that may be new to you. The word is narcissism which means -excessive self-love and preoccupation with self. Can you see any dangers of narcissim in “selfies? ”

Ask yourself the following questions…

~ Am I using Instagram as a tool to promote more of God or myself?

~ What is my goal in posting a “selfie”?

~ Do I spend more time on social media than I do in God’s word?

I truly believe Instagram (and others social media) can be a fun way to connect with friends and can be used for good. However, the challenge is to take a step back and evaluate your time and postings.

What do think?
